I agree with Gwaihir, it is not a question of elven men wanting or not to give up immortality. It is only Iluvatar who can change the destiny of His Children. In the case of Aegnor and Andreth, he knew that his destiny would not be changed. As Finrod says in the Atharbeth, that is only going to happen to a few number of couples:
Quote:
'Nay, adaneth, if any marriage can be between our kindred and thine, then it shall be for some high purposes of Doom.'
Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth; HoME 10
